I’m Srivatsav Auswin, an open-source contributor and developer. I’ve worked extensively on FOSSASIA’s Eventyay ecosystem, contributing to areas such as live event check-ins, badge printing, exhibitor tools, and platform integrations. I’m also an organizer with the open-source student community and currently work at Microsoft, while continuing to contribute to open-source software and developer communities.

Arnav is a CS student at IIIT Dharwad and an open-source developer who likes building things at the intersection of software, AI, and the real world.

He works across the FOSSASIA ecosystem, contributing to projects including VoxBento, Eventyay and its plugins. His work ranges from web platforms and developer infrastructure to real-time streaming, AI transcription, and WebRTC.

He enjoys jumping between projects, picking up unfamiliar technologies, and turning messy engineering problems into systems that actually work. He is particularly interested in open-source software, AI, and building practical technology that people can use.

When he isn't debugging something, he is probably starting another project.

Norbert Preining, an Austrian native, stands at the crossroads of diverse disciplines as a Researcher, Developer, and Open Source Enthusiast, with a profound passion for mountain guiding. Based in both Vienna, Austria and Ishikawa, Japan, his professional journey spans multiple domains, including machine learning, big data, data analytics, and software development, underpinned by a solid foundation in many-valued logics, proof theory, intuitionistic logic, and mathematics. His expertise extends into the realms of algebraic specification and CafeOBJ, showcasing a remarkable blend of theoretical insight and practical application.
Currently, Norbert serves as a Principal Software Engineer at arXiv, contributing to the forefront of academic publishing and scientific communication. Prior to this, he honed his skills as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Mercari, Inc., where he tackled complex challenges in the e-commerce space with innovative AI solutions.

I’m a software engineer and open-source maintainer working across large-scale web applications, AI systems, real-time communication, and data-driven software. I’ve built and maintained production systems across the frontend and backend, working with technologies including Django, Vue, TypeScript, WebRTC, WebSockets, and modern AI/ML tooling.
Alongside systems engineering, I work on AI-powered software and developer tooling, including LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and evaluation pipelines.
